Summary "The House of the Misty Star" by Frances Little is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book is set in Japan and explores themes of youth, hope, and love through the experiences of its main character, Ursula Priscilla Jenkins, known as Miss Jenkins, who runs a small house filled with memories and various guests from diverse backgrounds. The narrative revolves around her life and the introduction of a young missionary named Jane Gray, which brings unexpected change and challenges into her otherwise monotonous existence. At the start of the novel, Miss Jenkins reflects on her past and her years of teaching in Japan, feeling a longing for more excitement and opportunity. Despite her isolation and the humble nature of her life, she is drawn into a new dynamic with the arrival of Jane Gray, a spirited yet impractical missionary who initially struggles with health and practicality. Their lives intertwine further when Jane's antics lead them to encounter Kishimoto San, a traditional Japanese school superintendent, and his rebellious granddaughter, Zura, who embodies the clash between Western ideals and Eastern traditions. The opening of the book sets up a rich tapestry of characters and cultural conflicts, promising a tale filled with personal growth, societal exploration, and the complexities of love and friendship.
